A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This book is clearly written, jargon-free and well illustrated, including a CD. The authors describe in detail the treatment of Developmental Delay in young children, using the principles of Functional Learning. Parents are included from the outset to learn the techniques to continue treatment at home. The methods can also be used in educational settings. It is full of practical and fundamental knowledge and is highly recommended --Professor Lionel Hersov, Professor of Psychiatry and Paediatrics

Every Child Can Learn provides a wonderfully clear account of how children with a developmental delay can be helped to gain communication and problem-solving skills by exploring and using a range of 'learning tools'. The book and accompanying CD-Rom are highly unusual in being immensely practical, well adapted to what children like to do, and deliberately focused on learning through success. The authors' approach is based on a wealth of experience over many years. It is highly distinctive in having a well thought-through conceptual approach that involves a recognition of the need to tailor interventions to individual needs and particular family circumstances. Most of all, it provides a way to help children move on step by step as they progress in their development. Anyone working with children who experience developmental difficulties will learn an immense amount from this splendid guidebook. --Professor Sir Michael Rutter, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London

Thank goodness there is now a clear and practical guide to this groundbreaking technique. The unique teaching approach described in this book helps children even those with severe learning difficulties to learn how to be ready to learn, spontaneously, from all their daily experiences. It is so well presented and explained here that I m determined to recommend it to all the professionals and parents I meet. The originality of the approach is startling and the results fascinating both for students and teachers. This is the ultimate way to teach open ended thinking and problem solving skills to children whose emotional and developmental difficulties make it hard for them to learn. --Richard Brooks, Advanced Practitioner, Oxfordshire Service for Autism

Présentation de l'éditeur

Includes CD-Rom

Based on the authors' own clinical practice and extensive experience in the field, this book is a creative and flexible aid to helping children with learning difficulties.

Their accessible and positive approach, 'Functional Learning', focuses on helping children learn, children's potential, and what they can rather than cannot do. It is based on the purposeful 'doing' by the young child and can be carried out at home, school or the therapy room with either parents, teacher or therapist. The approach, which is cross-cultural, can be extended to all aspects of the child's life, and enables them to participate in everyday activities at home and school.

Fully illustrated, the book draws extensively on the authors' many years of practical work and offers techniques and activities used to help children develop their learning with a focus on:

- Development of Learning Tools

- Working with parents

- Language and communication

- Behaviour and emotional development

- Integration of learning into everyday life

The book includes a CD-Rom/DVD with printable material for making cards and worksheets, plus illustrative video material.

This book is suitable for anyone working with or caring for a child with learning difficulties, or with autistic spectrum disorders; for SEN teachers and SENCOs, early years training, teacher training and child development courses, as well as parents.
